The Luminar 2018 Black Friday offer will be available from November 21-29 and don’t forget to use our code “FUJIADDICT” at checkout to save more.

Pricing:

  • Current users of Luminar may upgrade at a Black Friday price of $49 ($39 with your coupon code)
  • New users can purchase Luminar 2018 for $69 ($59 with your coupon code)
  • A collection of bonuses will also be included with every purchase.

Bonuses:

  • A Pack of Urban presets from Contrastly
  • Creative Look LUTs Collection for use in Luminar 2018
  • The Ultra-Wide Landscape Ebook by Ian Plant

I have really enjoyed my time using Luminar 2018 and Aurora HDR 2018, which you can also save on with our code “FUJIADDICT“.  While I am still getting used to both Apps, I believe they are worth your time if you are considering dumping Lightroom for something different and the company seems committed to adding functionality to their 2018 lineup.

RAW POWER Takes on Lightroom

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 20, 2017

RAW Power is developed by Nik Bhatt, the former Senior engineer in charge of the photo apps group at Apple while Aperture was in development. RAW Power comes for OSX and iOS and works through the photo’s library on iCloud so everything syncs similar to Lightroom. Further, the interview with Nik Bhatt exposes some interesting details about how iOS deals with RAW files. Apparently, iOS doesn’t allow you to edit RAW data by default, but iOS does have a RAW engine. So Apple’s Photo App simply allows you to edit a JPEG file inside of imported RAW files, while RAW Power allows you to manipulate your RAW files with Apple’s RAW engine.

RAW Power’s solution seems to be simple and elegant from the above video and hopefully, ON1 delivers a similar solution in the future since they are already working on an iOS app. Unfortunately, it sounds like Luminar won’t develop an iOS app unless they hear from more photographers that want one, but I believe that the future is being able to edit your library on any device you have with you. Mobility will be key going forward as photographers move away from traditional computers.

Microsoft made this a lot easier with their surface devices and Windows 8/10, which allowed them to jump ahead of Apple in many ways, but Microsoft didn’t completely succeed with their phone. Apple also made steps towards merging iOS and OSX with the release of iOS11, but we are probably still a few years off from a unified OS for Apple devices so an iOS companion app is significant to compete with Lightroom in my opinion.

Profoto Air Remote TTL-F Coming On Time (December 18th)

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 18, 2017


Profoto promised the Profoto Air Remote TTL-F by the end of the year and it seems like they will deliver on December 18th according to laroquephoto. Interestingly Fujifilm has been showing up at some Profoto events lately and there is even a video online of Fujifilm ambassador Julien Apruzzese teaching portrait lighting at a Profoto booth in Paris. Of course, there are more affordable lighting options than Profoto, but they are widely considered to be the industry standard for lighting.

Fujifilm GFX: Fujinon GF 45mm Now Shipping, Nikon User Tries Fujifilm and More

By Louis Ferreira | Published: November 17, 2017

The Fujifilm GFX 50S grew more today with the Fujinon GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR now shipping from everywhere. Of course, the GFX has to get customers from somewhere and comparing it to cameras like the Sony a7RIII and Nikon D850 are topics of debate, but when the above Nikon user Russell demoed the GFX with a little guidance from Lewis his take away was that the camera is “all pros and no cons.”
